A police investigation has confirmed the origins of a mysterious bone that washed up on a West Australian beach.
The bone was spotted protruding from the sand at Cottesloe Beach about 9am on Saturday.
WA Police secured the bone with the help of Surf Live Saving personnel.
“A forensic officer attended Cottesloe Beach and collected the bone,” a WA Police spokesman said.
The bone is about 40cm long and appears to be a femur.
A police spokesman said the bone had since undergone further assessment by a pathologist who determined it was human.
“Further forensic testing will now take place to match the bone to any outstanding missing persons,” the spokesman said.
